Swinging onto the scene in November of 1994, just a few months after Iron Man and the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man spanned 65 episodes over 5 seasons. The series stood along side the X-Men animated series as one of the bright spots for Marvel animation in the 90's.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Luthor Strikes Again

Luthor is back! He kidnapped Jimmy to lure Superman into danger. It seems like kryptonite lasers are becoming his modus operandi. Luckily Supes found some lead based paint just in time. In the end Superman threw them all in vats of paint Goldfinger style. Isn't that lethal?

Onscreen History of Ra's Al Ghul
The Demon's Head AKA Ra's Al Ghul was introduced in 1971 in the pages of Batman #232. The international terrorist often strikes with environmental motivations and is a real bugger thanks to his rejuvenating Lazarus Pits which provide him with unnatural longevity.
Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Lava Men

Superman plugged up an erupting volcano saving a Mexican village. I guess in Mexico he is known as "Super Hombre."

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - The Deadly Super-Doll
A sorcerer made a voodoo doll that could control Superman allowing criminals to rob carnivals. I guess the doll was made of magic clay, so it totally made sense.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - Superman's Double Trouble

Superman just happened to be on a submarine tour when a giant lobster attacked. But didn't they say "double" trouble. Ah, enter a giant alligator. The two gargantuan beasts began to fight at an abandoned amusement park and Superman broke up the fight. Guess what happened next... NO! Superman didn't maroon them in space, he just put them back under the earths crust from whence an earthquake freed them.

Wonder Woman: Pilot (1975) - Discount Review
Recommended For: Anyone who needs to get the rancid taste of of any of the other Wonder Woman pilots (1967, 1974, or 2011) out of their mouth.
Heroes: Diana Prince AKA Wonder Woman
Villains: The Nazis
Diabolical Scheme: The Nazis wanted to take over the world and they had a double agent embedded as Major Steve Trevor's secretary plotting to kill Trevor and bomb the Naval ship yard in Brooklyn.
Coolest Moment(s): The pilot managed to do a fairly faithful adaptation of the origin of Wonder Woman, well at least of her victory in the Amazon contest culminating with the Bullets and Bracelets event. Basically any time Wonder Woman deflected bullets was awesome, especially from a tommy gun.
Worst Moment: I know its part of the mythology, but they didn't quite pull off the silly invisible jet.
Review in 50 Words or Less: The World War II setting combined with an iconic portrayal of Wonder Woman provides this pilot with a timeless quality and feel-good charm. Even if it drags a tad in places, this just may be the best live action Wonder Woman to ever see the light of day.

Crisis of Infinite Episodes - The Image Maker

A criminal who blamed Lois for being captured years ago planned to get revenge by inviting her to a "special screening" in a castle where a yeti came out of the screen - or did he just come from the other side of the screen?
